- To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, JEHIEL FRANKLIN WYNKOOP, a citizenuihe; United .St-etes, re l siding at Minneepolis, in .the county foi .Hennepin and Sta-te of Minnesota, "have invented e new and useul Household'Article of which I tli'e following is a specification.

" The .present invention relates to improve-- ments in devices-that ere especially useful in a household, and has for its object topic-vide a device ofthischerecterthat is. particularly A edsitpted oruse as e dust-pan and is so core Agages-the floor, e detachable handle ing provided forv the pen that 'facilitates its pleeV lngend minimizes the space required in ship 'ping-end storing.

Extending diagonally through en aperture 5 formed in the upper o rorwerd side of the body is .f1 sleeve having its' endA cut' diegonelly, cset 7, to eloeelyfit the bottom or back i which it engages, it being soldered orpther- Wisej so fitted that duet cannot .enter the sleeve from the interior of the body. The

sleeve is also sold-ered. orotherwise fitted in'to .the 'aperture V5 so eeto prevent exit of the' dust bete-'een the sleeve and the. Walls of the epertm'ethrough which it' passes.

What is claimed is zj* l. An' article of the' class described co'mpris'ing a hollow substantially conical .body portion having a mouth or opening, an inclined sleeve extending. through the* top of It Willalso Abe noted thatthe projection 4l the body portion at theapex thereof and having its lower end rigidly secured to the In shipping the devices, the handles are to become -v marred or otherwise-injured during handling bottom ofthe latter, said sleeve being proi vided with 'a locking grooveextending inw'ardly from the open end of the sleeve in a direction longitudlnally thereof, and thence,

extended diagonally of the sleeve, a corresponding handle adapted to detaehably engage the interior walls of said sleeve and havi ing a projection'thereon adapted to enter the longitudinal portion vof saidgroove and to co-l operate with the diagonal portion thereof to'` tighten the handle when turned relatively in onedireetionand to loosen it whenl turned relatively in -the. opposite direction, -and a projection depending from the bottom of the iody portion` between the apex thereof'and the fixed lower end of the sleeve.
